Welcome to Kentucky's Environmental Health Tracking Website
We believe children in Kentucky are our most valuable asset. They are also our most vulnerable. Our environment really does matter, especially when it comes to children. We know that children are not little adults and that their developing bodies are more susceptible to environmental risks.
The Kentucky Department for Public Health in collaboration with the Kentucky Population Health Institute, hosted the Fourth Annual Children's Environmental Health Summit on Thursday, October 10, 2019 (National Children's Environmental Health Day) in Somerset, KY. This Summit was funded through EnviroHealthLink, Kentucky's Environmental Public Health Tracking Program. The summit was free to attend and provided continuing education credits for several professional tracks.
